What a great conference my last ISTE was four years ago in San Antonio as a newbie tech person I was a little overwhelmed by the magnanimity of conference. Four year later I was still overwhelmed. Great sessions, great thinkers and great ideas! Here were my big take a ways. <br />
<br />
1. Twitter Rules: I did not take a single note via Word, Evernote, or any type of text tablet. I simply just tweeted out all my thoughts and re-tweet others for my take home and implementation. I just finished compiling all my tweets into categories to help me organize and implement.<br />
<br />
2. The power is in the people. As great as social networks are there is still power in meeting the people that I follow or know via the Internet. It also is introduced me to new people and made some great connections.<br />
<br />
3. Time: It is so precious to all of us we have make the most out of face to face training. Why are we wasting time training skills that can be taught by a 3 minute video. Lets use face to face training for deep rich learning that affects our students!<br />

Have you ever wanted to take a quick screen shot of your screen or a portion of your screen to copy and paste into a Word or PowerPoint? There is a quick and easy way to do this in Windows Vista, 7, and hopefully 8. Sorry XP people you will need to upgrade. I use this feature so much I put a shortcut on my Launch Bar so I can get to easily when I need it.<br />

One of the many challenges we face as Educators is that there are so many languages spoken in the classroom and even if the student speaks English at school that is not always an good indiction that their parents also speak English. There are many tools out there that help teachers and administrators to communicate with students and parents. I have found that most of these tools are free from Google. While none of these tools are perfect, the translation "mistakes" will be out weighed by the effort you took to communicate with the parent.<br />
<br />
<b>Google Translate: </b><br />
Google Translate will instantly translate text from one language to another. It currently supports 67 languages. Need help with pronouncing a word, many any of the languages have spoken word translation. Go check it out... <a href="http://translate.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Translate</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Google Transliterate:</b> <br />
Here is Google's description of Transliterate, "<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.433332443237305px;">Google Translator Toolkit offers an automatic transliteration option for converting Roman characters to Arabic or the Indic characters used in Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Punjabi (Gurmukhi), Tamil, and Telugu. This lets you type these languages phonetically in English script and still have them appear in their correct alphabet. Note that this is not the same as translation -- the sound of the words is converted from one alphabet to the other, not the meaning." </span>Go check it out here... <a href="http://www.google.com/transliterate" target="_blank">Google Transliterate.</a><br />
<br />
<b>There is an App for That:</b><br />
Are you struggling to communicate with a student and dont have time to go to your computer and type something out? Take out your Android or iOS device and download the Google Translate App. What I like about the app is that you dont even have to type. Just speak into your phone and Google will translate it in to text and audio. <br />
<br />
Download App here<br />
